Dear friends and colleagues, I continue to follow the call of my heart and soul in what I am doing with my OST work. For me, this evolved to the conscious Open Space Organization, the Genuine Contact tm program (a vehicle for achieving the conscious Open Space Organization), and then my understanding that the purpose of this work was to assist organizations to achieve a foundation of health and balance. In that run on sentence that I just did, I summarized more than a decade of work with OST and my own evolvement with it. Recently, we have been focusing on Individual Health and Balance as well as the Organizational Health and Balance, launching workshops for both.
Today, the next steps for me are the understanding that I am committed to the Wellness Revolution for Organizations and I wanted to share my initial writing about this with you for your comments. I am intending move this work throughout the world, inviting a different way of thinking for organizations and the people within them. Through working on health and balance, we achieve harmony. And when we achieve harmony, we find peace. The Wellness Revolution for Organizations We call upon all organizations to join The Wellness Revolution for Organizations. The result will be successful organizations and healthier individuals within them. Organizations exist for the evolvement of people. It may appear that there are other purposes to the reason for having organizations, but they are all secondary to this one purpose. Through organizations, people have the opportunity to do the relationship work that assists them to become aware of, acknowledge, and live their full potential. To assist in the constructive life nurturing evolvement of people, both the organization and the people within it must focus on achieving and then regenerating health and balance. If only the organization does so, the people will stop the achievement and its beneficial results. Similarly, if only the people focus on health and balance, the organization will stop the achievement and its beneficial results. Results of health and balance include but are not limited to: -prosperity with purpose -employee retention -less time off for sick days -energy focused on finding solutions rather than dwelling on problems, reducing unproductive wastage of unproductive energy - creative solutions that are life nurturing rather than life depleting -extraordinary results for clients, customers, guests, patients, parishioners/faith communities, employees and their families -capacity to live and work well within a climate that undergoes rapid change -positive attitude -congruency/alignment between the mission of the organization and the way it operates (particularly important for human and health services and products, sustainable communities, churches, education services and products, -peace /harmony both individually and corporately or organizationally and personally or individually and community. When energy is not wasted, the life force is increased and that will give both individuals and the organization the power to move issues forward and to achieve or surpass the organizational vision or goal. We call upon all organization and the individuals within them to join the revolution for health and balance to achieve maximum potential for all organizations and the people within them. We are all a part of something bigger and it takes all of us working together individually to evolve the whole. Everybody has something to do/contribute that benefits everybody else...and the community.
